This weeks random game is… Dad ‘n’ Me! Now, you may immediately recognise the visual style – it is very distinctive after all. Did you ever play the rock hard Alien Hominid? The initially awesome but quite drawn out Castle Crashers? Did you ever wonder if anything came before those games? Well, if you are lazy and never went looking, consider this an education. I love dropping knowledge bombs.
You play as a purple kid, all decked out in what appears to be a hockey mask, and your objective is to reach your Dad, who has driven off to the other side of town for whatever reason. Along the way you beat the snot out of anyone you come across with light and heavy attacks, for no real reason other than because you can, and they are in your way. These enemies are kinda rubbish – they just tend to walk diagonally around the screen until you hit them or you are within the range of their attacks.
That’s about it to be honest, there’s not a lot beyond that – it’s basic stuff really, but the interest is in seeing what came before those aforementioned future classics. Here is that link again – http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/254456 Give it a play, see what you think.
Yeah, unsurprising that the game is on Newsgrounds, right?
